1. Develop a healthy habit. Growing a healthy habit may help to displace an unhealthy one.
2. Be open-minded about the benefits of medication to reduce worry or irritability, especially if your moods are creating conflicts in relationships or problems at work.
3. Consider counseling as way to unpack and examine your deeper feelings, ones that are not discussed in most day-to-day relationships.
4. Strengthen your social ties. Call an old friend or have breakfast with someone in the family.
5. Make a goal to grow spiritually over the next year. Then meditate on how your behavior may reflect that change.
